fatal: repository not found (git + http + nginx + fastcgi)

Question

I am trying to serve git repositories using Nginx. I have the following configuration for Nginx server:

worker_processes  auto;

error_log /var/log/nginx/error.log notice;
pid /var/run/nginx.pid;

events {

}


http {
    include /etc/nginx/mime.types;


log_format main '$remote_addr - $remote_user [$time_local] "$request" '
                  '$status $body_bytes_sent "$http_referer" '
                  '"$http_user_agent" "$http_x_forwarded_for"';

access_log /var/log/nginx/access.log  main;

server {
    listen80;
    root  /home/path/to/repositories;
 
    location ~ \.git {

        auth_basic "Restricted";
        auth_basic_user_file /etc/nginx/.gitpasswd;
                                
        include fastcgi_params; 
        fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME /usr/lib/git-core/git-http-backend;
        fastcgi_param GIT_PROJECT_ROOT /home/path/to/repositories;
        fastcgi_param GIT_HTTP_EXPORT_ALL "";
        fastcgi_param PATH_INFO $uri;
        fastcgi_param REMOTE_USER $remote_user;
        client_max_body_size            0;

        fastcgi_pass  unix:/var/run/fcgiwrap.socket; 
    }

}

}

But when i try to clone it in a folder with the following command:

git clone http://user:password@my-local-ip/repo-name.git folder-name

I get the following result:

Cloning into 'folder-name'...
fatal: repository 'http://my-local-ip/repo-name.git/' not found

But the repository is there! I can serve it through "dumb http" with:

location /repositories {
            root  /home/path/to;
        }

've checked the error.log of nginx and when I try to clone with "smart HTTP" I get:

2022/12/05 17:09:22 [error] 79488#79488: *43 FastCGI sent in stderr: "Not a git repository: '/home/path/to/repositories/repo-name.git'" while reading response header from upstream, client: 192.168.1.13, server: , request: "GET /repo-name.git/info/refs?service=git-upload-pack HTTP/1.1", upstream: "fastcgi://unix:/var/run/fcgiwrap.socket:", host: "192.168.1.13"

fatal: repository not found (git + http + nginx + fastcgi)
